Wiring the Panel Always turn off power to the heating/air conditioning system prior to installing or adjusting the Zone Panel. Wire the entire panel before applying transformer power. Use the following general wiring instructions for all systems. Specific wiring will vary depending on the equipment and type of system (conventional or heat pump). NOTE: Up to 2 wires can be inserted into each terminal.

Supply Air Sensor Wiring Install the supply air sensor in the supply air plenum at least 2-3 feet after the heat exchanger and coil. Make sure there are no zone dampers before the supply air sensor. Connect the supply air sensor to the zone panel as shown. Transformer Wiring Install the transformer using the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Heat Pump Equipment Wiring NOTE: For Conventional Systems, see Section 3.5 Connect a single or multi-stage heat pump system to the zone panel as shown. A conventional thermostat may be used with a heat pump system, however, emergency heat will be controlled by the panel emergency heat switch or the optional remote emergency heat switch.
Configuration Use the following instructions to configure the zone panel. The zone panel is factory set for a 1 Heat / 1 Cool Conventional System with Conventional Thermostats (Heat Call on W, Cool Call on Y). If the zone panel is installed on other systems, you will need to make configuration changes described in this section.

System Checkout After the wiring and configuration is complete, built in automatic zone panel tests may be used to verify equipment, damper, and panel operation. To start the panel Test Mode: 1. Ensure all wiring is complete and power has been applied to the main and expansion panels 2.
Fan Stage(s) Test ON or OFF This test turns on all fan stages and commands all dampers to open. Press SELECT to test or NEXT to advance to the next test. Damper Control Test PO or PC This test powers all dampers open or closed. Press SELECT to test or NEXT to advance to return to first test.

Error Conditions The zone panel continually monitors various components of the zone system and will display a message when the following monitored conditions are detected. Cooling is disabled when Emergency Heat has been selected on a heat pump system Selecting emergency heat from a thermostat (See Installer Option 20) in heat mode will disable compressor cooling in all zones.
Page 18
Outdoor Sensor Bad Displayed when an error has been detected with the outdoor sensor. This error must be corrected by servicing the zone panel outdoor sensor. If the outdoor sensor is not operating correctly, the zone panel will not use outdoor balance point control for heating calls.
Adding More Zones The zone panel can be expanded to up to 32 zones with 4 zones on the main panel and 28 total expansion zones. Additional zones must have power and communication wires to be recognized and controlled by the main panel.
